TOP 5 DOG BEACHES
There is something about wide-open spaces, the salty air and the
infinite blue ocean that sends dogs (and, let’s face it, their owners)
into a state of frenzied happiness. Perth’s sprawling white-sand
beaches and clear waters offer the perfect places for a frolic
with a four-legged friend: here are five of the best.
Peasholm Street
This popular and expansive dog beach
commences 200m north of Peasholm
Street in Scarborough and extends
approximately 1.5 km southwards,
providing the most energetic of canines room
to roam. It’s a great spot for swimming in calm
conditions, and offers freshwater taps for those
in need of a post-swim drink and wash.
Mosman-Leighton
Called Leightons by the locals, this is a quiet
beach for dogs and owners to stretch their
legs – until Saturday mornings when it transforms
into a furry frenzy. With over two kilometres of
beach, there is ample room for pooches to play,
and for owners there’s a great view towards the
iconic red cranes of Fremantle Port. Be aware
however, that kitesurfers often launch from here in
summer, so bring a lead if your dog is the curious type!
South Fremantle beach
While the northern section of Fremantle’s intimate South Beach is less than a kilometre long, the waters are calm
and the grassy park behind the beach (and welcoming Pickled Fig cafe) are always dog-friendly. Owners here are
some of the friendliest in town, often clustering together for a catch up and a laugh at their sand-covered pets.
CY O’Connor
Beach
Further south lies CY O’Connor
Beach, with its water-bound statue
of WA’s most famous engineer
gazing over his namesake beach.
This long stretch of dog-friendly
coastline is rarely crowded, with
nearby Garden Island sheltering
its calm waters, and the eerie,
abandoned Fremantle Power
Station to the southern end
providing a somewhat alternative
beachside vista.
Whitfords
Hillary’s
One kilometre long, this beach
offers dogs and owners the
perfect summer retreat to cool
off, because the waves aren’t
generally too big. On weekends
during the summer months,
a coffee van and dog cleaning
service usually operate out of the
car park to freshen up your salt-
encrusted pooch. Just watch out
for the horse beach to the north.
